Best Answer

You can die if you do not get away quickly. The radiant heat from a lava flow, especially a basaltic lava flow, is very intense. Being close to a large flow without protection can quickly kill a person. Fortunately, these flows are slow moving, and the same radiated heat will often make it unbearable to get any closer before you could get close enough for it to kill you.
